Yachting Masterclass Reviews

“ I am really happy I found out about this course and was able to join at such short notice, and have enjoyed every minute so far. After (finally) your book arrived this Monday (took one week to be delivered by “lulu”), I also was able to “pre-read” the topic before the seminar, which is a great help.

"I have only been dealing more intensively with the industry for a few years and then, by coincidence, became aware of Mrs. Superyacht, Marcela de Kern.

“ Honestly It had been a great experience for me. I didn’t know anything about the yachting industry before. Thanks to this Masterclass, I learned a lot from the bests in the industry !
The great plus from this Masterclass are the connections I created with amazing people and the diversity of professionals that came to share with us their knowledge, job and career.
It had been very intensive and sometimes tough, but it was so worth it ! I definitely recommend it !

“I have found the sessions so far very very interesting. I usually follow more nautical or technical presentations, of course, but I also found the previous session with Stefano Pastrovich particularly interesting. His insights and passion are a shining example. Obviously a perfectionist, and no settling for compromises… and I hope also that aspect will inspire the newcomers in this extremely demanding branch of yachting. Many thanks also for inviting these top speakers ! 👍👍👍. Un cordial saludo,”

"On 23rd of April, after 9 intensive weeks filled with valuable knowledge, irreplaceable networking and friendships made, I have had the immense opportunity to successfully graduate from the Yachting Masterclass Program provided by La Belle Classe Academy from the Yacht Club de Monaco.
As a young individual looking to set the very first boundaries of their career in the yachting industry, I certainly believe and have realized that the Yachting Masterclass led by Marcela de Kern is an incredible opportunity to learn and develop your knowledge within the industry.
The well-structured program focused on different dimensions of the superyacht industry - from Private Clients Services to Technical specifications and regulations for the creation of an impeccable vessel. Certainly, my favourite module was Luxury Yacht Marketing and I would like to thank
pioneering the education in yachting at the yachting capital of the world.Finally, Farouk Nefzi and Steve Bailet for making it even more interesting by attending as guest speakers and sharing valuable and useful insights from their long-term experiences within their field and the industry itself. Thank you to Yacht Club de Monaco for this program
thank you to the program director - Marcela de Kern for the trust, courage and the exceptional knowledge. For always being there for us during the learning process and encouraging us to develop and grow in such a competitive industry. Thank you!🙏🏼

"...having worked in the Yachting industry since 1998, I thought that I had a relatively broad scope of knowledge of this area. …..and this was wrong Having just finished the Yachting Masterclass from La Belle Classe
has that I was not aware of before (or had neglected, wrongly interpreted, plain ignored, only peripherally touched,...)
Academy from the Yacht Club de Monaco last Saturday
(after 9 very intensive weeks with 2 courses per week) I am still amazed at how many facets this industry With a really amazing array of speakers, each going into depth on a specific topic, a much deeper
general understanding of everything involved in this beautiful industry was developed, and I got to understand also the many ways in which interactions take place.
I can strongly recommend this course to anyone
involved in this industry: From brokers to agents to Crew to builders to ...you name it. There is a lot to learn from all the others
involved in this incredible business!
A big Thank you to @La Belle Classe Academy and another big Thank you to @Marcela de Kern Royer"

“I am so sorry not to have been able to attend any of the classes in person but wanted to thank you for a most enjoyable and highly informative course . I think you have created something really interesting and you presented it with great style.Your book is also an extraordinary achievement of which I am sure you must feel very proud. I only wish I had known of its existence before I purchased my boat in January 2021.
As it happens I had to learn very quickly much of what we have covered during the course as I took a previously private yacht (LY2) under a Maltese Flag and converted it to a Cayman registered commercial vessel under the YET regulations with an entirely new Captain and crew owned by a remote offshore company in the BVI. Maintenance had sadly been scrimped and reduced in the year before sale and so I had to assess a significant amount of catch-up work as well as the normal ‘new owner ‘ embellishments.
My reason for taking the course was to check what I had learned incorrectly or perhaps misunderstood and so I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to validate what I had learned on the hoof! As it happens I don’t think I have done anything too silly or ill advised. Please accept my repeated thanks for a most agreeable few weeks. I thoroughly enjoyed it all - even as you reminded every speaker how old I was.”
